Argentine farmers are welcoming a China soymeal deal while U.S. growers express concern. The Rosario exchange estimates China consumes about 67.3 million tonnes of soymeal annually but has imported only small amounts, preferring to crush beans domestically.
A deal favoring Argentine soymeal shifts export share away from U.S. product, which is bearish for U.S. soymeal and soybean export prospects while supporting Argentine supply flows.
